Premieres

8 February: The premiere of the romantic opera The Rheinnixen by Jacques Offenbach made on Kärntnertortheater in Vienna. The libretto was written by Charles Nuitter and has been translated for the premiere of Alfred Wolzogen into German. The illness of a main character, the tenor Alois Ander, Offenbach has led to serious losses, so that the work only as a torso comes to performance. Although the work is not a failure, but goes the Wagnerian press, which would have rather seen the Tristan on stage, on the other hand to.
